Maintaining Water and Dust Resistance
This device is rated IP67 using the Ingress Protection rating system. The dust rating is 6 (highest level of
protection) and the water resistance rating is 7 (water resistant up to 1 meter for up to 30 minutes).
Despite this classification, your device is not impervious to water damage in any situation. It is important
that all compartments are closed tightly.
Follow these tips carefully to prevent damage to the device.
●
Whenever your device gets wet, dry it thoroughly with a clean, soft cloth.
●
Do not expose the device to salt water or ionized water, or to water over 1 meter deep for more
than 30 minutes. If your device is exposed to salt water, wash the device with fresh water then
dry thoroughly with a clean, soft cloth. Otherwise, when it dries, salt may accumulate and block
the microphone, earpiece, and speaker.
●
When drying off your device, be sure to pat the earpiece (top front of phone), microphone (bottom
of phone), and speaker (rear of phone) with a clean, soft cloth to remove as much water as
possible.
●
When making a call immediately after your device is wet, the microphone may have water in it
which may lower the volume that the other person will hear. After drying off the device, allow the
device to air-dry before making a call.
●
The back and USB/Accessory Port covers may be loosened slightly if the device is dropped or
receives an impact. Ensure that all the covers are properly aligned and tightly closed. Otherwise,
they may not provide protection from water and dust.
●
Always keep the USB/Accessory Port cover clean and be careful to avoid damaging it.
Note: The touchscreen may not be active in water.
